Elon Musk has created a new enemy, this time with a dissatisfied Twitter shareholder claiming he has lost money because Musk failed to immediately disclose to investors that he had bought a 9.2% ownership position in the company. The complaint, filed in the organisation's court in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, alleges that Musk's delay unfairly reduced Twitter stock prices, swindling stockbrokers before finally exposing his stock in early April.
According to reports the plaintiff, Marc Bain Rasella, claims that Musk should have disclosed his shares to the US Securities and Exchange Commission on March 24, when he exceeded the 5 per cent ownership limit authorizing the disclosure. Instead, the millionaire revealed that he bought only 9.2 per cent of Twitter last Monday, causing the stock to rise by 27 per cent as Musk acolyte rushed to action.
Meanwhile, Rasella's lawsuit alleges that with the delay in her submission, the well-known Twitter troll was able to purchase additional shares at a lower price. Musk received $ 156 million in cheap purchases, according to a financial expert quoted in The Washington Post last week. Rasella claims to be speaking for a group of Twitter shareholders who sell their shares in the week leading up to Musk's announcement.
Musk and Rasella did not respond to requests for comment immediately.
In recent weeks, Musk has caused havoc on Twitter. Following the announcement of his investment, he agreed to sit on Twitter's board of directors in exchange for a plan that barred him from holding more than 14.9 percent of the company's shares. Last week, he continued to mock and criticize the company, asking its 81 million followers if the stadium was "dead," suggesting it change its original membership, and thought its offices should be transformed into a shelter for the homeless.

Twitter chief executive Parag Agrawal said on Sunday night that Musk would not join the company's board of directors. "Elon's appointment to the board was due to take effect on April 9, but Elon announced he would not be joining the board that morning. He wrote, "I feel that this is the best thing that ever happened to me."
Musk would have to do a back check to officially accept the position, also act as a business fiduciary and "work in the best interests of the company and all our shareholders," according to Agrawal. Those words sparked controversy over why Musk changed his mind and whether it was actually his decision.
Musk recently wrote a variation of this emoji on Sunday, while the internet is abuzz with news of retreat:
Since 2018, when he surprised Tesla investors by posting on Twitter that he was considering taking a private electric automaker for $ 420 per share, the millionaire has been in a constant battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The organization investigated the situation and found that Musk had left important information about "whether he has a safe haven," according to his tweet. Musk later settled the case, but lost his position as Tesla chairman and fined $ 20 million, among other things.
